1950s Button-Through Summer Dress Sewing Pattern

This 1950s summer dress has a button-through front, a neat shaped neckline and a full skirt softly gathered into the waist.

It’s a particularly useful summer style and can be made quite differently depending on your choice of fabric. Cotton or linen would work well for an everyday version, while rayon or silk would give the dress a softer, dressier finish.

To fit a 36 in (91.5 cm) bust and 29 in (73.5 cm) waist.

Suitable for an advanced beginner or intermediate dressmaker, this is a lovely straightforward 1950s dress with plenty of scope for choosing your own fabric and finish.
